Insight into the genetic network governing long-stalked glandular trichome development in Nicotiana tabacum.

ABSTRACT:

Main conclusion

Using a transcriptional switch-based approach in Nicotiana tabacum, we identified key regulatory factors that control long-stalked trichome development. Our results highlight candidate genes implicated in glandular trichome formation and establish a foundation for future research on trichome development. Glandular trichomes play a pivotal role in plant defense against various biotic and abiotic stresses. To unravel the genetic network driving glandular trichome development in Nicotiana tabacum, we employed a transcriptional switch-based approach using heterologous expression of AmMIXTA, a MYB transcription factor from Antirrhinum majus. Through comprehensive RNA-seq analysis of transgenic tobacco seedlings where long-stalked glandular trichome development was induce
